Toronto may not be playing as well as it would like on the field this year, but some of the anxiety from that can be assuaged by the team it has coming up in its system.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Bo Bichette are the No. 1 and No. 7 prospects in baseball respectively, according to MLB Pipeline, and between those 19- and 20-year-olds, the Blue Jays have hope for their future.

What's more, they have two young men who enjoy playing together who could man the left side of the infield for the better part of the next decade.

"It would be really cool to play with the same guy coming up into the big leagues with him," Bichette told Omnisport before Sunday's Sirius XM Futures Game. "And I think we have a good relationship in that we play well together, so that would be really cool."

Guerrero and Bichette have been with each other every step of the way in the minor leagues from the Gulf Coast League in their first taste of professional ball all the way up to Double-A, where they sit now.

They've learned to play together as the two finished among the best in all of MILB in hitting in 2017. Bichette was the true batting average star as he amassed a .362 average last season, but Guerrero is the man who has truly stepped up this year as he is batting .405 through 55 games.

Each player makes the other better, but as Bichette notes, it's tough to get either one out, which makes it harder to pitch around either one.

"I think they pitch me the same regardless if he's behind me or not, even though I'm an aggressive hitter and they try to get me to chase," Bichette said. Guerrero has missed a few games lately as he deals with an injury and Bo has had to hit without as much protection in the lineup. "But it's really been the same since he's been there, or hasn't been there."

Not having Guerrero has been tough at the Blue Jays' Double-A affiliate in New Hampshire.

"We miss him," Bichette said. "He's awesome to have around, plays hard, he's fun in the clubhouse, obviously makes us all better, so we miss him."
